Landslides are amongst the most destructive natural hazards, causing damage to infrastructures, such as roads, railways and houses, and can, in a worst-case scenario, take lives. By studying the effect and response of ...

Debris flows and debris slides/avalanches (weather-induced landslides) represent a significant threat to infrastructures and human habitation in Norway. They are triggered by a combination of high intensity rainfall, ...

The core area of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in south-central Scandinavia is believed to have had a cold-based glacier thermal regime, preserving landforms created during earlier glaciations, interstadials and ...

Snow accumulation is the most spatially heterogeneous component of glacier mass balance calculations, yet it exhibits robust time stability in spatial distributions. This thesis examines the characteristics of time stability, ...

Drought is a natural feature of the climate usually associated with dry and warm weather over an extended period of time causing less than normal water available at the land surface. The development of a drought is a ...

Palsas are peat mounds with a perennially frozen core which are mainly formed due to ice segregation. They are located in bogs in warmer (sporadic and discontinuous) permafrost zones and they are therefore sensitive to ...

Seasonally snow-covered regions are an important source of water and a crucial component of the yearly water balance for substantial areas of the world. The American River, located in the California Sierra Nevada presents ...

Structure from motion photogrammetry presents a low-cost and time saving way of generating digital surface models and orthoimages using image matching algorithms. The use of structure from motion poses great potential where ...
